External variables not yet supported by Daffodil either for anything yet.
Yes, it's all described in the DFDL spec. Set external='yes' on dfdl:defineVariable.
Not yet supported by IBM DFDL though for user-defined variables, only for the 4 pre-defined variables.

Subject: [DFDL-WG] passing parameters to DFDL?
Sent by: dfdl-wg-bounces@ogf.org
XSLT has an ability to pass an external value to a parameter within the stylesheet, using <xsl:param>.
Does DFDL have a similar capability? Does dfdl:defineVariable allow this?
